Title: I Deliver for StarveMeNot in Ancient Times

“Five-star reviews save lives. Bad reviews send you straight to the imperial prison!”
Food-delivery rider Chen Ergou is struck by lightning and transmigrates to ancient times, where he becomes an on-the-run elder of the Beggars’ Sect.
Armed with the “StarveMeNot” System, he takes the Great Xia Dynasty by storm with a box of modern takeout:
He wins over a spoiled heiress with self-heating hot pot. Chili oil splashes onto her pomegranate-red dress, and the young lady orders ten portions, her ears turning red.
He passes off bear spray as an immortal beast-taming technique. Wild dogs break into a tap dance, and beggars across the city fall to their knees, shouting, “Lord of the God of Fire!”
He touts a balance scooter as Kunlun’s wind-riding art. When he crashes into the imperial examination results board, he happens to help up a future top scholar...
He only meant to open an ancient-times branch and make easy money, but gets dragged into:
- Food wars: beggar’s chicken leaves the Persian delegation swooning, while Japanese ninjas try to copy takoyaki
- Cross-era crime-solving: a modern detective chases a criminal into ancient times, where the imperial jade seal turns out to be a power bank
- Defying fate: the emperor mistakes his yellow delivery box for an immortal artifact, and his Meituan uniform becomes a must-have for the rich
Then the Su family’s young lady lifts his yellow robe and declares, “A husband struck by lightning? I’ll take him.”
Only then does Chen Ergou realize:
The osmanthus cakes he brought through the rain that night had already been secretly swapped for a love-token jade bracelet;
And all those glowing reviews he worked so hard to earn were long essays she’d stayed up all night writing...
Meituan uniform + StarveMeNot System + power plays served with a side of food
